In this episode, we talk about: ✨ Whether we can really be friends with our ex… or are we just clinging to crumbs? ✨ The BIG red flags that friendship with an ex is actually keeping you stuck ✨ How anxious attachment shows up as “situationship cosplay” (calling it friendship, still secretly hoping they’ll come back) ✨ The avoidant ex who “feels safer” as just friends – and how that can mess with your head ✨ My personal stories about being friends with MY exes ✨ Green flags for when friendship with an ex can actually work ✨ How to use your body (not your fantasy) as your compass for what’s right for you ✨ Why choosing space and no contact is not immature – it’s self-respect ✨ …and so much more! ➡️ Leave a comment and let me know your biggest takeaway from this episode – are you team “friends with exes” or team “block and bless”? 👀 Love, Samantha xx If you enjoyed the episode, It would mean the absolute world to me if you would take a second to rate & share this podcast.
